# pydantic-ai-backend - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `vstorm-co/pydantic-ai-backend`
- capability: File Storage & Sandbox Backends for Pydantic AI: console tools for file operations, Docker-isolated sandboxes for safe execution, and permission system with presets for access control. Enables secure multi-user handling and testing in agents via in-memory, local, or containerized storage.
- expected_user_outcome: File Storage & Sandbox Backends for Pydantic AI: console tools for file operations, Docker-isolated sandboxes for safe execution, and permission system with presets for access control. Enables secure multi-user handling and testing in agents via in-memory, local, or containerized storage.

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

- **Project Overview & Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: README.md, src/pydantic_ai_backends/__init__.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/protocol.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/types.py, mkdocs.yml
- **Backends & Protocol Reference**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/pydantic_ai_backends/protocol.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/state.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/local.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/composite.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/adapter.py
- **Console Toolset, Permissions & Capabilities**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/pydantic_ai_backends/toolsets/console.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/permissions/__init__.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/permissions/checker.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/permissions/presets.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/permissions/types.py
- **Sandboxes, Runtimes & Session Management**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/base.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/docker/sandbox.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/docker/session.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/docker/runtimes.py, src/pydantic_ai_backends/backends/daytona.py

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `22297d974615d2688a292696734071e0e51d07cc`
- inspected_files: `README.md`, `pyproject.toml`, `docs/api/backends.md`, `docs/api/capability.md`, `docs/api/daytona.md`, `docs/api/docker.md`, `docs/api/index.md`, `docs/api/kubernetes.md`, `docs/api/permissions.md`, `docs/api/toolsets.md`, `docs/api/types.md`, `docs/changelog.md`, `docs/concepts/backends.md`, `docs/concepts/capability.md`, `docs/concepts/console-toolset.md`, `docs/concepts/daytona.md`, `docs/concepts/docker.md`, `docs/concepts/index.md`, `docs/concepts/kubernetes.md`, `docs/concepts/permissions.md`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.
